If you walk a distance of 8 blocks and then 3 blocks south from home, what is your position compared to home? What distance did

you walk?

Harman [31]3 years ago

The position compared to that of home is a reference to displacement, I believe.

Displacement = x total - x initial

So I believe the answer is 5 blocks due north (if you’re walking linearly from your home), unless the questions is referring to relative displacement, in which then you’d need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between both positions. And then you’d have to find theta for the degrees between the south direction and the other unmentioned direction. But I don’t think that’s the case.

Distance refers to x total and doesn’t care for direction, as this refers to a scalar quantity opposed to a vector. Thus the equation is just

d = x

So 8 blocks + 3 blocks = a distance of eleven blocks walked total

A ball rolls across a floor with an acceleration of 0.100 m/s2 in a direction opposite to its velocity. The ball has a velocity
Westkost [7]

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

Its given that acceleration is 0.1 m/s² with a direction opposite to the velocity. Since, the direction of acceleration is opposite to the velocity, this gives us a hint that the velocity is decreasing and so acceleration would be negative.

i.e.

acceleration = a = - 0.1 m/s²

Distance covered = S = 6m

Velocity after covering 6 meters = Final velocity = v_{f} = 4 m/s

We need to find the initial speed, which will be the same as the magnitude of initial velocity.

Initial velocity = v_{i} =  ?

3rd equation of motion relates the acceleration, distance, final velocity and initial velocity as:

2aS = (v_{f})^{2}-(v_{i})^{2}

Using the known values in the formula, we get:

2(-0.1)(6)=(4)^{2}- (v_{i})^{2}\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=16+1.2\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=17.2\\\\ v_{i}=4.15

Thus, the initial speed of the ball was 4.15 m/s

A hockey player hits a rubber puck from one side of the rink to the other. It has a mass of .170 kg, and is hit at an initial sp
Dimas [21]

By using third law of equation of motion, the final velocity V of the rubber puck is 8.5 m/s

Given that a hockey player hits a rubber puck from one side of the rink to the other. The parameters given are:

mass m =  0.170 kg

initial speed u = 6 m/s.

Distance covered s = 61 m

To calculate how fast the puck is moving when it hits the far wall means we are to calculate final speed V

To do this, let us first calculate the kinetic energy at which the ball move.

K.E = 1/2mU^{2}

K.E = 1/2 x 0.17 x 6^{2}

K.E = 3.06 J

The work done on the ball is equal to the kinetic energy. That is,

W = K.E

But work done = Force x distance

F x S = K.E

F x 61 = 3.06

F = 3.06/61

F = 0.05 N

From here, we can calculate the acceleration of the ball from Newton second law

F = ma

0.05 = 0.17a

a = 0.05/0.17

a = 0.3 m/s^{2}

To calculate the final velocity, let us use third equation of motion.

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2as

V^{2}  = 6^{2} + 2 x 0.3 x 61

V^{2} = 36 + 36

V^{2} = 72

V = \sqrt{72}

V = 8.485 m/s

Therefore, the puck is moving at the rate of 8.5 m/s (approximately) when it hits the far wall.
